Flex (read-only)

Greetings.Is there any chance htmlText will be supported in Flex 4 and beyond (spark components).TLF seems promising and very powerful, but seems to be overkill for some cases.The simplicity of htmlText allowed for sharing the same content (ie stored in a databse) to a Flex and to an XHTML interface with CSS etc...Granted it had it's issues thus the question ... is support for that approach dead?Thank you all.

Hi,In Ant scripts we could set failonruleviolation="true" when executing FlexPMD and this will lead to failed build on violations.Is there something similar for FlexCPD?Thanks

Hi,I have been developing content using TLF with CS4 and in Flash Builder. Recently when I switched to CS5, there was this cool TLFTextField. So now I wonder, TLFTextField or TLF, which is better to use in CS5? Almost all of my text will be dynamically generated. Please share your thoughts - possibly with pros and cons.~ Shiyaz

Is this possible?  Does the tool find all AS classes recursively under the source directory?

When I type in TLFtextField dispatches RemovedFromStage events after each word! Why?var em:EditManager= new EditManager()em=txt.textFlow.interactionManager as EditManagervar MC:mc=new mc()MC.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE,rs)txt.textFlow.addEventListener(StatusChangeEvent.INLINE_GRAPHIC_STATUS_CHANGE,u)em.insertInlineGraphic(MC,"auto","auto")function u(e:StatusChangeEvent):void{      if(e.status==InlineGraphicElementStatus.READY ||e.status==InlineGraphicElementStatus.SIZE_PENDING){           txt.textFlow.flowComposer.updateAllControllers()           if(e.status=="ready")txt.textFlow.removeEventListener(StatusChangeEvent.INLINE_GRAPHIC_STATUS_CHANGE,u)     }}function rs(e:Event):void{trace(e.type)}

I used to use a textfield  as a mask when making gradient texts,but textLine elements seems not capable of using it as a mask,even though it supports another mask objects.( Is it a bug or specification or just my problem? )So I am trying to find another solution for this.I thought about blending mode or shader filter may work, but no luck.If I already know how many colors are used in gradients, maybe it's possible to make gradient filter with pixel bender, but I have no idea how to build a gradient filter with undetermined multiple color choices.Does anyone know a good solution for this?

Hi,Well, I'm using the simple example that comes with the tlf and now I'm making some customizations. Something that I'm need to do is to put some metatags on my text. For example, when the user type [sound:asdfas.mp3] i would like to mark  this text with diferent style. Or, in some cases, the user can use variables on my text, for example [var;income] so, when the user choice to print the text, i replace this variable for a current value.Anyone has any ideia of how can I do it?Thanks.

Hey Guys, I'm struggling with two issues using TLF within Flash CS5.1) I'm unable to get Anti-aliasing to work when using TLFTextFields in combination with htmlText.If I draw a TLFTextField on the stage within Flash IDE and set its Anti-aliasing to Readability then it will anti-alise correctly. If i dynamically change the .text property via AS3, then it still remains crisp, however If i change its .htmlText property Anti-aliasing is disabled and the text looks jagged.e.g.var tlfTxt:TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();tlfTxt.htmlText = "<p><font color='#000000' face='Century Gothic'>Testing <b>quick</b></font></p>";tlfTxt.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;addChild(tlfTxt);What is the best way to achieve Anti-aliasing this way?The same happens if I set a tlfMarkup and specify a TextFlow with styling.Also how am I able to change weight when using TextFlow? If I have Century Gothic Regular and Bold each embedded within my library, and exported for Act

When I run a series of tests and one (or more) fails, is there a way to tell the user interface the expected and actual result?

Hello Guys,I needed the last release of the TLF that has couple of bugs that I encounter fixed.I dropped textLayout instead the one that is in hero.It works until the moment I use editable controls then it says: ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property flashx.textLayout.edit:IEditManager::delayedOperations on flashx.textLayout.edit.EditManager. at spark.components.supportClasses::RichEditableTextContainerManager/createEditManager() at flashx.textLayout.container::TextContainerManager/invalidateInteractionManager() at flashx.textLayout.container::TextContainerManager/http://ns.adobe.com/textLayout/internal/2008::convertToTextFlowWithComposer() at flashx.textLayout.container::TextContainerManager/mouseDownHandler() at spark.components.supportClasses::RichEditableTextContainerManager/mouseDownHandler() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent() at mx.core::UIComponent/dispatchEvent() at mx.managers::SystemManager/

Can the TLF produce a stroke on letters? For example, a white fill and a black stroke.

The ordering behavior between inherited test classes seems to have changed between FlexUnit 4 and 4.1 beta 2.Here is the order my test methods are running in:SubClass [After(order=9)]SubClass [After(order=10)]BaseClass [After(order=1)]4.0 did this:BaseClass [After(order=1)]SubClass [After(order=9)]SubClass [After(order=10)]I think the old behavior is correct... maybe a bug here?Thanks,Brian

InlineGraphicElement's bug:If the float(in fact,options) is set "left" or "right", if you move the image, yeah, it's ok, but if you resize it( set new height and new width), modifyInlineGraphic will do nothing.

Hi,i've a problem getting tlf 2.0 to run in flash cs5.I have no experience in flex btw.I'm trying to load Text from an xml file into my flash as3 project. To be able to insert images and get a float functionality, i downloaded the textlayout2.0.0.139.swc, and just pointed in flash under actionscript settings -> libraries   to the file, along with the old  1.0.0.595.swc.The internal flash preview of the swf. works just fine, i get my floating images within the text.But since I changed the actionscript settings, i get an security error in the browser preview because the .swf wants to communicate with the adobe.com server.It says i can change the settings, but that button doesn't work somehow and i don't know what settings i have to change.the page works alright, but all the text based on the xml and tlf  doesn't appear at all.I tried to undo everything, but the message keeps popping up in all my projectfiles of this particular project.Sample projects of "how to loa
